The Huskies beat conference champion Houston and lost by a touchdown to what turned out to be a pretty good South Florida team. Their top weapon is running back Arkeel Newsome , who leads the team with 760 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns.
One of those bullets struck and killed 45-year-old Jeremy Doss Hardy, who had been driving with his wife westbound on the interstate, OSBI said. The agency says Powell was pronounced dead at the scene near Hydro, which is about 60 miles west of Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol eventually stopped and arrested the suspect in Custer County, but not before he had shot and killed a man near El Reno and killed a woman near Weatherford. The woman, Billie Jean West, was pronounced dead at a hospital in Weatherford. Authorities have not yet interviewed him to determine a motive, but they don’t suspect anyone was specifically targeted.
Authorities were still receiving phone calls as of 8 a.m. local time from people whose vehicles were hit by gunfire during the shooting spree, KOCO reported.
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation will begin investigating the two homicides, and the OHP investigators will also be involved, Peoples said.
